This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

This page is not a forum for general discussion about JD Vance. Any such comments may be removed or refactored. Please limit discussion to improvement of this article. You may wish to ask factual questions about JD Vance at the Reference desk.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

On 18 July 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from J. D. Vance to JD Vance. The result of the discussion was moved.

There have been attempts to recruit editors of specific viewpoints to this article, in a manner that does not comply with Wikipedia's policies. Editors are encouraged to use neutral mechanisms for requesting outside input (e.g. a "request for comment", a third opinion or other noticeboard post, or neutral criteria: "pinging all editors who have edited this page in the last 48 hours"). If someone has asked you to provide your opinion here, examine the arguments, not the editors who have made them. Reminder: disputes are resolved by consensus, not by majority vote.

This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report 8 times. The weeks in which this happened:

Political positions image

Under political positions, the image labeled "New Flag of the Republican Party" is a flag of Nazi Germany. It says only certain people may edit his page. 47.34.156.32 (talk) 19:49, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Birth

Hi there,

According to https://apnews.com/article/election-2024-republicans-vice-president-vance-name-359c3d1361c94f5d2d1e9798b7854477

“He was born James Donald Bowman in Middletown, Ohio, on Aug. 2, 1984, his middle and last names the same as his biological father, Donald Bowman. His parents split up “around the time I started walking,” he writes. When he was about 6, his mother, Beverly, married for the third time. He was adopted by his new stepfather, Robert Hamel, and his mother renamed him James David Hamel.

When his mother erased Donald Bowman from his and her lives, the adoption process also erased the name James Donald Bowman from the public record. The only birth certificate for Vance on file at Ohio’s vital statistics office reads James David Hamel, according to information provided by the state.”

According to Wikipedia, here is his birth certificate:

https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:J._D._Vance_Birth_Certificate.jpg

It seems that he actually was not born with the surname “Bowman” but already as “Hamel”?

(And not as James Donald but already as “James David”?)

And that her mother was already married to Robert Hamel when he was born, according to this birth certificate?

In person life, change "...as she is Hindu and he Christian" to "...as she is Hindu and he is Christian", I think it's a typo :) Fishy-Finns (talk) 22:29, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done... - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:13, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should the page be moved to "J. D. Vance"?

I feel like the current title is a bit informal and changing it to "J. D. Vance" or something similar would not only look better but would also be more consistent with other Wikipedia articles using this name format. I thought it would be a good idea to discuss the idea before making a formal move request, though. Any thoughts? TypoEater (talk) 14:53, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This topic was hashed out at length in July. See the page move discussion. Carguychris (talk) 15:01, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

+(And not as James Donald but already as “James David”?)
-The article claims, "Vance later attended the Ohio State University, graduating in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts degree summa cum laude in political science and philosophy." This sentence has two references. Neither of the references says anything about him graduating summa cum laude. I believe this "summa cum laude" claim should be removed from the article, unless and until someone finds actual sourcing of this claim to Ohio State.

+And that her mother was already married to Robert Hamel when he was born, according to this birth certificate?
-== Opening sentence ==
-Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but why has Vance's title in the opening sentence been reduced to "politican and lawyer"? It formerly referenced his status as a venture capitalist and author, which provides extensive detail on his background. [[Donald Trump]]'s page notes him for various aspects of his career, for instance. While I think that venture capitalist is just one part of his career, "author" is what he became mostly known for and I feel that it deserves to be in the opening sentence. Again, I don't want to reinvent the wheel if this has already been discussed, but I would argue for returning "author" or "memoirist" to the first lead paragraph.
